No on 8 DoS Attacks: Update
Update:
From what the NO on Prop 8 campaign knows, the DoS attack started
yesterday from a small number of individuals. It is believed the
attacks, which occurred throughout the night, came from California,
Texas, New Jersey and Georgia. The attacks to the site increased from
a small number of hosts to dozens. As IP addresses of attackers were
blacklisted, new IP addresses emerged and attacked.
Probably most significant:
“I’m sure we’ll hear a lot of denials today from the Prop 8 campaign,
but this is clearly an orchestrated attempt to tear down what has
become one of the largest grassroots movements in California electoral
history,” said Patrick Guerriero, NO on Prop 8 Campaign Director. “We
have reported this to the FBI and other federal authorities and we
have secured our site in ways we never thought would be necessary. But
make no mistake – this was an attack against individual rights, not
just a Web site.”
